What is Hot atom meze?
Hot atom meze is a Turkish meze of thick strained yogurt topped with hot peppers warmed in butter. It is a familiar sight on meyhane tables and at shared meals, where a little goes a long way. The peppers are often dried, then briefly heated in butter before being spooned over the cool yogurt.
Its appeal is the contrast: tangy, creamy yogurt against a rich, gently sizzling topping with a sharp kick. Serve it as part of a spread with bread for scooping, alongside other meze, or with grilled meat. It is relatively low in carbohydrates but gets much of its energy from fat, so a small portion can suit a varied table; use less butter for a lighter version.
